Designed in collaboration with John Patitucci, Yamaha's TRB JP2 is a 6-string bass designed to meet the needs of modern, versatile and expressive players. Behind its Translucent Dark Red finish and high-gloss varnish lies a body crafted from a blend of carefully selected woods: carved maple, ash, alder and maple. This choice of construction contributes to a balanced response across the entire frequency range.

The screw-down maple neck is fitted with an ebony fingerboard and 26 frets, with a long 889 mm scale for excellent bass response. There are two custom Alnico V pickups (neck and bridge), combined with 3-band active electronics, a balance control and a master volume control for fine-tuning each nuance to suit the style being played.

The solid brass bridge and Gotoh GB72 tuning machines ensure stable tuning and controlled sustain. Made in Japan and supplied in a case, this TRB JP2 is aimed at bassists looking for a complete instrument that's as at home in the studio as it is on stage.
